MCINL. I doubt I'd order a dessert if I knew it had
Froot Loops in it, but if one arrived that had them,
I'd try it. If they were just, you know, a garnish, I
might scrape them off.

I'm assuming it's a prix fixe dinner and no other choices?

I agree, but I'd also wonder about the restaurant, thinking Froot Loops
might be just their cheap substitute for real fruit.

I simply would not eat it. If asked, I would tell the the truth. Fruit
loops don't like me. If they didn't bother me, I would eat them as a
dry snack plain, and I do like them. But I always have a reaction to
them. There is something in them that bothers me. I have no idea
what.

Me too, PLUS I would suspect that the Froot Loops were actually
imitations. If it was really a fancy restaurant, they might use high
quality fruit and hand make something that looked like Froot Loops but
were really good.

No, I wasn't thinking along those lines. Never been to any 'high class'
restaurants that offer set menus for a specific price.

FWIW, when the wait staff (or the chef) at a 'high class' restaurant have
recommended a particular dessert, I've been known to succumb to their
charms and ordered it. However, if a recommended dessert arrived at my
table and it contained Froot Loops, I'd send it straight back to the
kitchen - and revise my opinion of the chef in question.

They tend to mention those things.

It's good to see both you and a new survey Cathy. I've been pretty
busy myself but I try to keep up with the threads that are on topic. I
voted mcinl because I can't remember the last time I had dessert in a
restaurant. If it came as part of a package I might try it but I
can't say for sure.

I'm almost afraid to ask - but what the heck - what could one do to Froot
Loops that would make them palatable?

Thanks Lou.


Ah, OK. I love chocolate mousse and if it's on offer at a restaurant I'll
always order it - but I don't make it at home or I'd weigh 1500lbs by now.

And there's a reason they're not named "Fruit" Loops, they don't
meet the required fruit content. It wouldn't surprise me that they'd
contain some substance that disagrees with some people.

Apparently the judges on "Chopped" have had this experience. (If you see
gloria's thread "Food Network" it was one of the ingredients the
contestants were required to use in a dessert on one of the shows).

Thats another possible, but I wouldn't be shocked to the point of not
tasting it if served in a high quality restraunt. My assumption before
tasting was they had some quirky humor and a new wonderful way to use them
that fit. Here's an example of cheap sugar sprinkles.

150$ a multi-course meal in Fukuoka. Charlotte at the end wanted the
cupcake for dessert. She was 13 at the time? On a bed of white icing, was
those little star shaped cheap sugar sprinkles laid out to look like a
blanket (I swear, they must have used tweezers to get them just so!), a
paper umbrella, and a gummy bear resting in the shade of it on the blanket.
One corner had blue sugar granules sorta tufted up to look like ocean waves
;-)

Grin, the chef came out to peer around the corner and see if she liked it
but the giggles made it a plain winner. They don't see many kids at places
like that getting a 7 course meal. (I asked them to cut her portions down
so she wouldn't fill up before she got to all the course goodies).
